From Taaandoors to Tandoors...can lah!

I woke up this morning feeling all sad and low. Mom left today. As I lay around feeling all depressed, Uncle walked up to me and said very enthusiastically - we're going out for Indian food!!!! I didnt really care at the point, but his next statement brought me to tears - I was laughing so hard. "We're going to a restaurant called Tandoor"!!!!!!!!!! P - i miss you so much.

Moving to a different place is quite hard. Everything changes. Some things for the better, some for the worse. But whatever changes - its all part of an experience that makes you learn more about yourself - what's most important to you, who are the people in your life that matter the most, how bad your cooking skills are =).


Mustafa - the huge shopping center bang in the middle of the "indian district" is over-rated no doubt, but definitely god's gift to students like me who move here. whatever you need can be found within those 4 walls. from food to bags to shoes to jewellery to electronics to.... need to take a breather- that shop is kickass huge!!!

Organisation is what this city survives on. everything works on a pre-fixed system. wherever you go - you're given a token number and only need to bother looking up when the system beeps out your number.

Travelling in Singapore is reallly convenient and easy. All bus routes and numbers are put up at bus stops. going from one end of the island to the other shouldnt take you more than 1 hour at the max. this kinda kills the whole " long romantic drives at night" concept, but what the hell, when you're late for class/work, you're alright with sacrificing that much =)

the locals are pretty cool - they seem really helpful. they're amazingly hardworking! its craazy!
can = can be done, ok, perfect, i know the place
can is a word/term that you will hear everywhere around you!! its really funny.

living alone is really hard initally. you're always homesick, you wanna go home and just stay there forever. but things dont always go the way you want them to, and sometimes you have to give somethings up to gain more from life. but i wonder, ( it maybe to early to, but i still do ) - is it all going to be worth all that initial misery. only time will tell ....
